Peloton Is Recalling All of Its Original Bikes Sold Over the Last Five Years, About 2.2 Million
On Thursday, Peloton issued a voluntary recall of its original Bike (model number PL-01) sold between January 2018 and May 2023. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a subsequent warning, and told consumers to cease using the recalled model “immediately.”
Peloton said the recall is due to the vulnerability of the seat post, which has been reported to “break unexpectedly during use,” and poses serious risks of falling or injury. As of April 30, Peloton was notified of 35 instances of the seat post breaking during use,
